ListBox height not taking variables

Post by OlgaFB » Wed Aug 23, 2006 1:56 pm

Hi Marcus,

I wanted to have two dialog sizes, for different screen sizes. So I defined two sets of variables, for each one of the screen sizes, and put the variable names instead of width, height, x, y etc.

It worked for everything, except for the listbox height. For some reason, ListBox doesn't appear, if its height is defined by a variable.

Not that I said that to be a serious bug... just a little inconvenience. :)

Thank you for everything in Sacro Scheduler, it's an amazing program!
Olga.

Hi Olga,

Seems to be ok for me:

Try different values of h:

Code: Select all

Let>h=200

Dialog>Dialog1
   Caption=Dialog1
   Width=445
   Height=250
   Top=286
   Left=351
   Memo=msMemo1,72,40,185,h,msMemo1
EndDialog>Dialog1

Show>Dialog1,r

:) It's because you tried Memo. That's what I said: it works for everything else.

Try to put instead of the Memo line,

ListBox=msListBoxDB,8,24,185,90,

or

ListBox=msListBoxDB,8,24,185,h,

See the difference?

Oops. I thought I had placed a list box on the form! Yes, now, I see the problem with the list box.
